Mastering your challenges ahead of time

The utility industry is undergoing profound changes, affecting all areas along the entire energy chain, from power generation to trading, including transmission and distribution. Around the globe, utilities face a multitude of challenges:

Renewables and distributed energy sources have to be integrated while facing market and regulatory uncertainties. They have to improve environmental performance, keep consumers’ costs down, and at the same time maintain system reliability.

More than ever, they are being urged to rethink business models, change financial structures and establish new partnerships.
A transformation which Siemens will help to master.

Hot topics for Power Utilities

The growing demand of distributed power generation poses new challenges not only for distribution system operators, but also for operators of high-voltage grids. With the high-voltage direct-current transmission (HVDC) technology, power can be transmitted over long distances with minimal losses via a "power highway"- e.g. linking northern and southern Germany. The technology also supports the voltage of the AC grids to which it is connected.

Energy shortages limit the development of a nation’s industry and society. But growth and economic development can be underpinned with a powerful energy mix system. Find out how Egypt will boost its power generation capacity by 50 percent with state-of-the-art combined cycle power plants, wind power plants and leading switchgear technology.

To really make the most of your wind turbines’ capabilities, your predictive abilities need to be more precise than tomorrow’s weather forecast. Our system engineer, Per Egedal, uses wind turbine performance history to predict the extra output you can gain from a power boost upgrade. Find out more about our features and technologies to maximize wind turbine performance.

Combined heat and power plants (CHP) are on the rise around the globe. That's because they combine flexibility and efficiency. The surplus heat from gas turbines can be utilitzed as process steam - for district heating or even district cooling purposes. The Lausward power plant in Düsseldorf, Germany, demonstrates this impressively, breaking three world records.
